Sure, moms have infinite love to give, but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve some in return. There are many ways to show your gratitude and devotion to your mom: For starters, you can whip her up a fabulous Mother’s Day brunch or shower her with thoughtful gifts when the holiday rolls around. But we’ve got to say, when it comes to expressing sentiment, nothing delivers quite like music. Of course, picking the right song for the occasion is key.

15. “the Sweetest Gift” By Linda Ronstadt And Emmylou Harris (1975)
Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, two of country music’s most angelic voices, sing the praises of a mother’s unconditional love in this wistful and touching 70s ballad about a mother visiting her “erring, but precious” (read: imprisoned) son. As for the sweetest gift, it was simply a warm and loving smile. Yep, you’re still your mama’s baby, even if you’ve been bad.
